    Default Why Ne-dominant types prefer recently discovered fields of study

    At least, one possible reason: the fields were established recently enough that someone with a very general set of knowledge from all sorts of different fields (i.e., the kind of knowledge Ne types excel at) can contribute a significant amount of new and constructive material. As time goes on, fields get more specific and require a greater amount of specialization to come up with something new in that field. Ne-dominant types don't like to specialize too much (there's so much else they could be doing), so they lose interest and move to something else where they can contribute more (including concepts they just learned in the other field).

    Does identifying with this make me an Ne dominant?

    It does, unless you spend at least two hours a day working on cars. Then you can still be SiTe.

    Didn't Rick have a blog entry suggesting this? I'm not positive but I think so.

    I'm not sure - if he did I don't remember it but it's possible. I do remember he mentioned that Ne dominant types like to explore new fields, and that's what was the starting point for the OP (me contemplating why).

    If this is the blog entry that I am thinking about, then I think he also suggested that is what ultimately kills and boggles the subject down. ( PoLR bias, Rick? ) I cannot be sure if it is the same one, but I do recall reading something on the blog along those lines. It may have been in relation to the study of Socionics though.

    Elro, I do think that your idea has merit.
